by Fenerbahce is actively working on finalizing a loan deal for Ansu Fati and hopes to bring the talented young player into their team by the end of the season, according to a report from SPORT.
The source mentions that Ansu is highly valued by coach Jose Mourinho and the Turkish club have already contacted his agent Jorge Mendes to explore the possibility of a loan. Barcelona are expected to let him go before the transfer window closes.
It is no secret that the Catalan club are looking to reduce their wage bill and Ansu’s departure would help them achieve that goal. Interestingly, Ansu may have different priorities in his next move, with Sevilla showing strong interest in signing him.
Barcelona wants to part ways with Ansu
FC Barcelona’s sports department and coach Hansi Flick believe that it would be in the player’s best interest to find a new club where he can get more playing time.
His injury has hampered his development, but talks about his future are expected to pick up pace soon. Several clubs have expressed interest, and while the decision is largely up to the player, any potential deal will have to meet certain financial requirements.
Fenerbahce, who were recently eliminated from the Champions League, are keen to strengthen their squad with new signings. Mourinho sees Ansu as a valuable addition and is ready to take the opportunity if it presents itself.
There are more offers
Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent, is likely to play an important role in the decision-making process, although those close to Fati would prefer him to join Sevilla if he leaves Barcelona.
Sevilla coach Garcia Pimienta is confident he can help Ansu get back to his best, although it should be noted that Fenerbahce may be willing to offer a higher salary.
In addition to Fenerbahce and Sevilla, Marseille and Wolverhampton Wanderers have also expressed interest. These clubs are closely monitoring the situation and waiting for both Barcelona and Ansu to make a final decision.
Given the closing date of the transfer window, a solution is expected soon as time is running out for all parties involved.
